My first 1911 was a Kimber & I haven't been disappointed. I also have a couple of Colts that I'll never sell & I still have a couple Kimbers & Colts on my want list. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I bought a Kimber Custom TLE RL earlier this year and love it. Almost a 1000 rounds through it and the only failure was due to a case being too long to go into battery all the way. I was shooting Winchester that day I think. Other than that the accuracy is superb. It can definitely outshoot my ability, at least for now. So which model did you choose?
